About

FAT TRUNK STORY

  • FatTrunk Jeans was an idea born out of necessity — In discussion with a group of friends from Kansas city, we started talking about how hard it was to find a good pair of jeans in bigger sizes, Will Perry decided he was going to fix that problem.
  • We reached out to a pattern maker to understand the issue a bit further — Clothing is based on a pattern, that pattern is usually designed for a smaller individual and then scaled up. When it’s scaled or graded up to larger sizes the proportions get out of whack.
  • We worked with this pattern maker to flip the standard process on its head — Our pattern is modelled for a size 54 and is scaled down, making for a far more comfortable and better looking plus sized pair of jeans.
  • After tons of testing and samples we’ve cracked the code and are excited to share with the larger community.

 

THE PRODUCT

  • Fat Trunk’s Extra Pattern is the first of its kind Off-the-rack, Tailor fit, stretch denim for plus size individuals.
  • We use a unique blend of cotton, spandex, and polyester to create stretch denim that looks and feels amazing — But will also maintain its shape over time.
  • For our launch we will be offering sizes 38 – 60 with a 33” inseam in our original indigo blue.
  • These jeans will be available through kickstarter starting on October 9th — signup on our website to stay in the know at www.fattrunkjeans.com
  • Soon in the future we would like to offer more color options, multiple inseam options, and even more sizes.
